The form of NFL flattery...

[PantherPhann89]

To have a team with the history of the Patriots lurking us to ****** up our players. First they snatched up Tyler Gaffney and now they just pounced on a former player, Ben Hartstock. I seriously hope that we don't let Brandon Williams go. I can imagine how well they'd use him and I picture how successful he'd be in their system. But I kinda like the fact that they're watching us. That means that we have something to watch...

Honestly as far as personnel goes the Pats don't really seem to be all that consistent. They certainly draft well enough, but they're rarely just loaded with talent. Always getting by on Brady and BB. 

 

I'm talking out of my ass but it feels about right.

BWill isn't going anywhere.

I see what your trying to say but ain't no one we be looking up to because of some dinosaur dynasty. They continuing they're underhand bullshif and they gonna get a hiding when they come back to our house.

literally.

He's been a free agent for what? 4 months? I don't think signing him now really counts as pouncing.

The actually draft on a fairly consistently shitty level. Stock piling picks only means so much when you constantly draft shitty players on the rare occasion that you actually use one.

They struggled in the draft for a while, but recently (last 5+ years) they've been ok.

No, they really don't.  Take a look at the last 5 or 6 years and rethink what you said.  They've not really drafted that well, they rarely find success in their FA acquisitions, they just play in a weak division and ride on the laurels of their previous success pre-spygate.

Huh?

Of course they're watching us. That's how they won the Super Bowl 10 years ago!
